Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall gets hot and bothered over Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood  

She is set to appear on the new season of The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer on Tuesday.

And Jade Thirlwall has gushed over judge Paul Hollywood‘s eyes, joking that she got all ‘hot and bothered’ when she arrived in the famous tent.

The Little Mix star, 28, admitted that she was a huge fan of the show, adding that she would be ‘starstruck’ when she met Paul, 55, and fellow judge Prue Leith, 81.

Speaking to the cameras, as reported by the Mirror, she said: ‘I think I will be a bit starstruck when I see Paul and Prue. 

‘I’m a proper fan and Paul’s eyes are something else aren’t they? I’m getting all hot and bothered.’ 

She is joined on the episode by comedian Katherine Ryan, presenter Stacey Dooley and YouTube star KSI, as they got stuck into the technical challenges. 

Jade spoke of trying her hand at some of the bakes before appearing on the show, but joked her attempt at the first challenge went ‘horrifically wrong’. 

The Wings hitmaker said: ‘Then I tried the big showstopper. I think I did a good job but once the time is whittled down to three-and-a-half house, it can all go a bit pear-shaped.’ 

After losing her grandmother and auntie to the disease, Jade described cancer as ‘terrible’ and wanted to help raise money for the cause.   

Earlier this week, Jade revealed she felt like she lost of her ‘identity’ when her grandfather passed away when she was 13. 

Her granddad Mohammed was from Aden in Yemen, before he moved to South Shields in 1943, and met Jade’s grandmother Amelia, who was from Egypt.

Jade shared more about her Yemeni heritage and learnt about the ongoing conflict in Yemen with UNICEF as she took part in a Zoom call with Somaya, 17, from Sana’a. 

Speaking about how the singer looks up to her late grandfather as a role model, the hitmaker said: ‘I have really fond memories growing up of my Grandad going to the mosque, cooking me Yemeni food and telling me all these stories about living in Yemen.

‘As I’ve got older I feel like once my Grandfather passed away when I was 13 I sort of lost a lot of Yemen identity. 

‘He was the main person in my life who would really champion my Yemeni heritage and encourage me to acknowledge it all the time.’
